  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • The work was challenging, interesting and thought provoking.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Some were extremely busy, but most worked with open doors and were more than willing to offer advice and answer questions.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Again, some more than others but most gave good description of context and explanation of the task.

    4/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have learnt so much. About my self, about the law, about the life of a lawyer, about life in a law firm... It has been a huge learning experience.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • I was amazed at the number of resources used and the programme was a brilliant way to meet fellow vacation scheme students from different departments. Breakfast briefings were great, not just for the food (!), but to hear about other aspects of the firm.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • The office was a really comfortable and enjoyable place to work, and learn.

    5/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Mid-placement meetings were a great way to iron out concerns I had and answer questions. It also gave me confidence to kick-on during the second half of the scheme.

    5/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • I have met so many lawyers and each of them were willing to answer questions. I felt they were honest in their answers which was really refreshing and helpful.

    5/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • I had expected good things from its reputation, and was not disappointed.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • 4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • It was more than adequately paid.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • It was great to have different environments to network and meet other employees - from the Pub Quiz to the Partner dinner.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • The variety of events and variety of employees who attended was really great to see and made them really useful as well as good fun!

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • We heard a lot about the voluntary events but less from sports teams/other social activities.

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Fantastically organised, and I have learnt so much. It is definitely the most impressive and most rewarding scheme I have done.

    5/5
